pulled in
circa 1900
front porch and climbing hydrangea
backyard studio by a babbling brook;
a price so sane
i lost my mind, dismissing busy road and extremely high flood risk.
we offered full price as i planned where the tv should go,
and dream-set the adirondack chair to best watch the trees of northwest connecticut die spectacularly in the fall.
later that night we get the text:
6 offers. The one the seller chose was well over asking, all cash, and no inspections.
i yanked the adirondack chair while wishing the new owner luck with the old furnace,
last serviced in 2019.
